Build Any Logic

Supported Operators

Use a complete set of operators to build formulas for any scenario.

Arithmetic Operators

Perform mathematical calculations on TAG values.

  • • + Addition
  • • - Subtraction
  • • * Multiplication
  • • / Division
  • • % Modulo (remainder)
  • • () Parentheses for grouping

Example:

([Tag1] + [Tag2]) * 2

Comparison Operators

Compare TAG values to trigger conditions.

  • • == Equal to
  • • != Not equal to
  • • > Greater than
  • • < Less than
  • • >= Greater than or equal
  • • <= Less than or equal

Example:

[Temperature] > 80

Logical Operators

Combine multiple conditions for complex logic.

  • • && AND - Both conditions must be true
  • • || OR - At least one condition must be true
  • • ! NOT - Inverts the condition

Example:

[Temp] > 80 && [Status] == 1

Proven Applications

Real-World Automation Scenarios

Compressor Optimization

Situation:

Compressor continues running when production stops, wasting energy

Formula:

[CompressorPressure] > 8.5 && [ProductionStatus] == 0

Action:

Write 0 to CompressorControl TAG (Turn off compressor)

Result:

Prevents unnecessary energy consumption and reduces costs

💰 Up to 30% reduction in compressor energy costs

Off-Hours Lighting Control

Situation:

Lights remain on in some areas after shift ends

Formula:

[WorkingHours] == 0 && [LightStatus] == 1

Action:

Write 0 to LightControl TAG (Turn off lights)

Result:

Eliminates unnecessary off-hours lighting

💰 15-20% reduction in lighting costs

Equipment Temperature Protection

Situation:

Equipment temperature approaching critical levels

Formula:

[Temperature] > 75 && [CoolingFan] == 0

Action:

Write 1 to CoolingFan TAG (Turn on cooling)

Result:

Protects equipment from overheating and prevents failures

💰 Prevents costly equipment damage and downtime

Motor Overcurrent Protection

Situation:

Motor current exceeds normal operating range

Formula:

[MotorCurrent] > 50 && [MotorStatus] == 1

Action:

Send notification to operator (Writing Mode off)

Result:

Early warning prevents motor damage

💰 Extends motor life and prevents unexpected failures

Simple Process

Create Formulas in 6 Easy Steps

1

Name Your Formula

Give your formula a descriptive name that clearly indicates its purpose. Good naming helps with organization and maintenance.

2

Build Formula Logic

Use the visual Formula Builder to create your logic. Select TAGs from dropdown, add operators with calculator buttons, and see real-time preview.

3

Configure Messages

Write Success Message for TRUE results and Warning Message for FALSE results. These appear in notification logs for tracking.

4

Set Schedule

Choose how often the formula should run. Select from seconds to monthly intervals, or create custom schedules for different time periods.

5

Test Without Writing

Save and activate formula with Writing Mode OFF. Monitor notification logs for several hours to verify formula logic works correctly.

6

Enable Automatic Writing

Once verified, configure Writing Mode with target TAGs and values. Formula now automatically controls your equipment.

Formula Examples

Simple Mathematical Operation

[Temperature] + 10

Add 10 degrees to temperature value

Average Calculation

([Pressure1] + [Pressure2]) / 2

Calculate average of two pressure sensors

Conditional Control

[Value] > 100 && [Status] == 1

Check if value exceeds 100 AND status is active

Complex Calculation

[Tag1] + ([Tag2] * 2)

Add Tag1 to twice the value of Tag2

Energy Optimization

[CompressorPressure] > 8 && [ProductionStatus] == 0

Detect high compressor pressure during production stop

Multiple Conditions

([Temp] > 80 || [Pressure] > 10) && [SafetyStatus] == 1

Alert if temperature OR pressure is high while safety is active

Key Advantages

Why Use Formula Engine?

Complete Automation

Eliminate manual monitoring and intervention. Formulas work 24/7, making decisions and taking actions automatically based on your defined logic.
